CELLforCURE, a pharmaceutical establishment since October 2013 for the manufacturing of cell therapy medicinal products, was granted a new manufacturing authorization on January 30th, 2015. Delivered by the French national agency for medicines and health products safety (ANSM), this authorization allows now CELLforCURE to manufacture gene therapy drugs.

The expertise and professionalism of CELLforCURE’s team related to ex vivo gene modification of human cells, crucial for gene therapy medicinal products manufacturing, are thus recognized by ANSM. This new achievement contributes to position CELLforCURE as a major industrial and pharmaceutical player in the new segment of innovative medicine therapy.

Driven by emerging needs in various indications, gene therapy and more specifically the ex vivo gene therapy shows currently a rapid development. In June 2014, CELLforCURE has thus signed with CELLECTIS a partnership for the production of clinical batches of CAR T allogeneic lymphocytes. In the field of cell therapies in 2014, CELLforCURE also signed partnerships with biotech companies like EMERCell and the Clinident Biopharma Institute, and the Public Assistance – hospitals of Paris (APHP).

“The next step for CELLforCURE is now to meet with the regulatory requirements of the FDA, in order to manufacture clinical and commercial batches of advanced therapy medicinal products for the North American market. The company plans to achieve this milestone in the next coming months” Pierre-Noël Lirsac, President of CELLforCURE, said.

“CELLforCURE is one of the European leaders in the field of the production of advanced therapies. The internationalization of its activity is in the straight line with the overall strategy of the LFB group” Christian Béchon, CEO of the LFB group, said.
